Don't panic! The Hitchhiker's Guide comes online.

By Brian Linder

The official site for Disney's live-action version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has just gone online &#Array; check it out by clicking the link below. It's a pretty basic site right now... The intro page has a slightly addictive feature that allows the user to push the big red button and destroy the world three different ways, depending on which version of the page randomly loads. Beyond that, there's a single production update which includes news of an on-set tribute to the late author of HG2G, Douglas Adams &#Array; May 11 was the third anniversary of Adams' untimely death. Expect more updates in the near future.

The Spyglass Entertainment/Disney production is currently shooting in London under the direction of Garth Jennings.

On the off chance that you're unfamiliar with the story's subject matter, the plot centers around Arthur Dent, a man who is whisked off the planet Earth by Ford Prefect, an undercover alien researching "The Hitchhiker's Guide" just before the planet is destroyed to create a new hyperspace freeway.
